Elon Musk vs. Ashley St Clair: Paternity feud takes a dramatic turn

The public spat between tech billionaire Elon Musk and Ashley St Clair has reached new heights.

Fresh allegations, fiery social media exchanges, and a battle over child support payments have emerged, keeping the internet captivated. 

What started as a Valentine’s Day revelation has now morphed into a high-stakes drama worthy of its own Netflix series.

Musk, known for launching rockets and occasionally launching Twitter controversies, recently claimed he had already given St Clair $2.5 million, along with an annual $500,000 for child support — even though he remains unsure whether he is actually the father of her son.

St Clair, who met Musk when she was 24, wasted no time in clapping back.

She argued that Musk, 53, had previously refused to take a paternity test, despite her repeated requests. 

“Elon, we asked you to confirm paternity through a test before our child (who you named) was even born. You refused,” she wrote on X, a platform owned by Musk.

Musk, in response to accusations that he was dodging responsibility, maintained that he was open to taking a paternity test and that no legal action was necessary. 

His comments came as a reply to far-right personality Laura Loomer, who had called St Clair a “gold digger” and a “professional gaslighter”.

St Clair, however, disputed the tech mogul’s generosity, accusing him of using financial leverage as a means of control. 

“And you weren’t sending *me* money, you were sending support for your child that you thought was necessary… until you withdrew most of it to maintain control and punish me for “disobedience.” But you’re really only punishing your son,” she wrote.

The battle isn’t just playing out online — St Clair also claims that Musk has attempted to silence her with court orders while simultaneously using his vast social media influence to smear her reputation. 

“It’s ironic that your last effort in court was to try to gag me while you use a social media channel you literally own to distribute derogatory messages about me and our child to the entire world. It’s all about control with you, and everyone can see it.”

“America needs you to grow up, you petulant man-child,” she chided Musk, who is in charge of a government cost-cutting spree as head of the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Will Musk finally take a paternity test? Will St Clair pursue further legal action? Will Musk respond with an anime or Ghibli meme? 

One thing is certain— this is one billionaire battle that isn’t cooling down anytime soon.

Will St Clair get the last laugh? Are they doing this to generate more traffic, and ads, on X?

With no resolution in sight, the saga continues. Stay tuned for the next episode of Keeping Up with the Teslas.
